Elephants and hippos will be killed in Namibia to distribute the meat to those in need
Namibian authorities have decided to shoot wild animals in order to distribute their meat to needy local residents. Namibia, like many African countries, is experiencing severe drought and its citizens, especially in rural areas, lack water and food. The Ministry of Environment plans to kill 723 animals. These include 83 elephants, 30 hippopotamuses, 60 buffalos, 300 zebras and various species of antelope.
